íarmbrethemnas

n [u, and] o, m.after-judgment, additionaljudgment or fine. This fine was payable after an interval
which was allowed to show what the outcome of a bodily
injury might be. The length of the interval depended on
the injured part—one year for a hand, three years for a
head. If the eventual injury was due entirely to the
wound itself the person who inflicted the wound paid the
íarmbrethemnas. If it was partly due to bad doctoring the
leech shared in the paying of the fine. See Plummer,

and Binchy,
Ériu xii 134.
